A great (but incomplete) collection...

"Jennifer Warnes' newest "Best Of" collection is a great CD, even though it ignores her signature hit "Right Time Of The Night" and her #1 hit "(I've Had) The Time Of My Life." But rather than concentrate on what's missing, I'll look at what's included.First of all, all these tracks have been digitally remastered, which is reason enough to own the CD. The terrific remastering job breathes new life into old hits like "Up Where We Belong" and "I Know A Heartache When I See One," and it also adds new dimensions to Warnes classics like "First We Take Manhattan" and "Rock You Gently." Warnes' cover of Juice Newton's 1977 hit "Come To Me" (and a hit for Warnes in 1982) has never sounded better, and "Bird On A Wire" is pure pop heaven.Yes, this collection is rather expensive, because it is a German import, but it's worth it for listeners who really want to experience Jennifer Warnes recordings at their very best. Spring for it; you'll be glad you did."
